The Buy & sell and Polls & events rooms
Two read-only rooms that gather every listing, group buy, poll and event from a circle's groups, with filters to find what you need.
- In the app

Updated
Buy & sell and Polls & events are two automatic rooms in a circle. They collect everything of their kind from all the circle's groups, so you don't have to scroll through chats to find them.
Buy & sell
This room shows every listing posted in the circle's groups: things for sale, things wanted, things to lend, and group buys. Its description reads Everything sold, lent, wanted or bought together in the circle's groups.
Use the chips to narrow it down: All, For sale, Wanted, To lend and Group buys. Each item says which group it was posted in. Tap one to open it.
Polls & events
This room shows every poll and event from the circle's groups. It's split into Open & coming up and Earlier, so the ones you can still vote on or attend come first.
How they work
- Both rooms are Read only. You can't post in them directly. Post in a group, and it shows up here too.
- They appear in the circle's list once there's something in them.
- Use Search buy & sell or Search polls & events to find something by word.
Posting something that shows up here
- To sell, lend or ask for something in your circle, see Sell inside a circle and Wanted and To lend posts.
- To start a poll or a group buy in a group chat, see Polls and Group buys.
- To plan an event for the circle, see Events inside a circle.
Common questions
Why don't I see Buy & sell in my circle?
Can I post directly in the Buy & sell room?
